In 2025, Real Madrid didn’t add a lot of new trophies to their cabinet—but that only tells part of the story. While fans often remember the titles, 2025 was a year marked by near-misses, strong performances, endings, and some transitions for the club. Below, BraeckBall takes you through exactly what Real Madrid did and didn’t win in 2025, plus what the implications were.
What major trophies did Real Madrid win in 2025
The short answer: None of the biggest domestic or international titles were secured by Real Madrid during calendar year 2025. They came close in some, but were bested in finals or seasons decided before the calendar flipped.
Here are a few specifics:
- They lost the 2025 Supercopa de España final to Barcelona (5-2).
- In the 2024-25 Copa del Rey, they reached the final but were defeated by Barcelona after extra time (3-2).
- In La Liga for the 2024-25 season, Barcelona also clinched the title; Real Madrid did not win the league in 2025.
So, if you think about the “big three” (League, Copa, major Super Cup), Madrid came up short in 2025.
Titles Real Madrid had going into or surrounding 2025
Even though 2025 itself didn’t produce new silverware, Real Madrid kicked off period with momentum. Some of the trophies they had recently lifted or retained just before 2025 include:
- The UEFA Champions League (2023-24), which they won in mid-2024.
- The FIFA Intercontinental Cup in December 2024, where they defeated Pachuca 3-0. That match wraps into some of what fans think of when considering “2024/25 trophies.”
- La Liga 2023-24 title. Secured in 2024, before 2025. Real Madrid celebrated their 36th league title then. opend Sports)
Key matches and close calls
Though no major silverware was collected in 2025, there were several dramatic moments:
- The Copa del Rey final versus Barcelona was tightly contested, ending in extra time, and Real Madrid just couldn’t get the win.
- The Supercopa defeat (5-2 to Barça) was also a blow; it signaled that in one-off finals, Real Madrid were vulnerable in that stretch.
Why fans might think Real Madrid did win something in 2025
Some confusion comes. For instance:
- The 2024-25 season begins in mid-2024 and finishes in mid-2025. So trophies “won in 2024” (like Champions League, Intercontinental Cup, La Liga) sometimes feel like part of “recent success” when people talk about 2025.
- Also, newer tournaments or expanded formats (like the revamped Club World Cup/Intercontinental Cup, etc.) shift when fans expect certain competitions to be played.
But strictly speaking, in the calendar year 2025, Real Madrid didn’t lift new trophies in the major competitions.
What this means for Real Madrid’s momentum
While 2025 wasn’t a season of trophies, it was still important for several reasons:
- It marked the end of an era: Key figures like Luka Modrić departed or announced exits. Modrić, one of the most decorated players in club history, had already collected many titles before 2025.
- It also underscored the rising challenge, who were able to overtake Madrid in key domestic battles (League, Copa, Supercopa).
- For the fans and the club, 2025 became a year of reflection—on squad depth, managerial transitions, and preparing for the next cycle.
Conclusion
What did Real Madrid win in 2025? In terms of major trophies — strictly speaking — nothing new was added to their trophy cabinet during the calendar year. They lost key finals and saw rivals claim the honours.
If you’re keeping up with Madrid’s story, though, 2025 is far. It’s a pivotal moment: the end of one cycle, the setup for another. Being aware of those near misses, the titles just before 2025, and how transitions unfolded gives a clearer picture of where the club was — not just what they won.
